I just installed a few things on my 914 that I stripped off of my old car that met its fate with rust.

My car now has: stock 15mm front sway bar, KYBs in front and back, stock torsion bars, and 140 lb springs in the back. I'm not certain of the springs being 140 lbs, but they are definitely stiffer than stock, and waaay stiffer than the old saggy ones I pulled off the car.

I don't know much about suspension and I haven't driven on a track, but I think that the car is oversteering now and it makes sense based on the fact that the back is now stiffer than the front.

So the question is, what do I do now? Stiffer torsion bars? Stiffer sway bar?
